Sheng An Ning felt even more uneasy. If this uncle was a good guy, then they would definitely have to interact with each other in the future, and the chances of her brother being exposed would be even greater.
Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Nanguang were still talking about Cheng Mingzhong. They were obviously very happy that Sheng Anning had a new relative, even happier than Sheng Anning herself.
…
When Cheng Mingzhong returned, Cheng Mingyue realized that he had gone to see Sheng Anning. Seeing that he looked calm, she was still a little nervous and asked, "Did you see Anning? Is she okay?"
Cheng Mingzhong stared at Cheng Mingyue in silence for a long time: "You are a mother, why don't you even know who your daughter married? You don't even know that she came to Beijing. You don't care about this daughter at all, so why did you marry Yu Tang in the first place? You could have refused."
Cheng Mingyue didn't say anything. She married Sheng Yutang because he was good-looking. Although his family conditions were average, his father admired him very much. Who would have thought that after marriage, they would live apart and she would have to take care of all the big and small things in the family by herself.
When she was sick and dying, it was her current husband who ran to call the doctor. When the house was leaking, it was also the current man who helped repair the roof.
After being together for a long time, the single man and woman developed some inexplicable feelings for each other, but she was pregnant at the time and was also concerned about her married status. Later, when the child was born, Sheng Yutang died.
She married her current man, Sheng Yushan, without hesitation.
But life after marriage was not as good as she had imagined. Sheng Yushan was a man without any big ambitions, and he no longer cared about her like he did before marriage.
Cheng Mingzhong didn't expect Cheng Mingyue to say anything. He thought for a moment and said, "An Ning is doing well now. I think Yu Tang will feel relieved if he knows this."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something: "I remember Yu Tang had an older brother. Did he run away from home when he was very young?"
Cheng Mingyue suppressed her chaotic mood and nodded: "Yes, he was not that young when he left, about 15 or 16 years old. Because his mind was not clear, some people said that he might have fallen into the river and drowned."
Cheng Mingzhong shook his head: "It seems that he is not dead. I don't know how he went abroad and has a son."
Cheng Mingyue didn't believe it: "It's impossible. They say Sheng Yutang's eldest brother is a fool who can't even speak. How could he run away from home?"
Cheng Mingzhong also felt that it was impossible. If Sheng Yutang's brother was severely mentally retarded, it would be impossible for him to go abroad. Besides, how would he live if he went abroad?
I guessed that I might have recognized the wrong person.
…
Sheng An Ning was nervous for a while, but soon figured it out. Since she was worried about some unknown things, she might as well think about what to name the three children.
When I couldn't sleep at night, I asked Zhou Shixun, "What do you think we should name our three children? We can't name them Red Soldiers, which means serving the country. And we can't name the girls Red Plum, Winter Plum, or Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon. You have to think of a few names, three for boys and three for girls."
Zhou Shixun now felt nervous every time he saw Sheng An Ning move. He carefully supported her waist and helped her turn over. As for the name, he had never thought about it. His mind had been in a very unclear state for the past two days.
Sheng An Ning thought that having three identical little boys or three identical little girls would be quite cute, so she thought hard and said, "Why don't we look up the names of Chinese herbal medicines? We can use them to name our children, which will sound nice and unique."
After saying this, he sighed: "I think I am a little greedy. I want two sons and a daughter, so that the two brothers can protect their sister. My sister will be the happiest girl in the world."
Zhou Shixun's hands were gently placed on her belly. From time to time, she could feel movement inside. Sometimes the force was very strong, and sometimes her belly just rippled gently. It was a magical feeling.
"Well, you pick the name, I don't know much about Chinese medicinal herbs."
If he were to think about it, he would think that Red Soldier, Patriotism, National Day and so on, all sound nice, and it would also be nice for a girl to wear a flower.
But he didn't dare tell Sheng An Ning this, because she would definitely be disgusted if he told her.
At night, Sheng Anning dreamed that there were three identical little babies around her, crawling around her with a giggle. They had big eyes, long eyelashes, chubby little faces, and little mouths with pink gums showing when they smiled. They smelled of milk and were a delight to look at.
Sheng An Ning woke up from her dream with a smile, opened her eyes and found that Zhou Shixun was no longer around, and there were sporadic sounds of firecrackers outside.
Only then did she come to her senses and realize that today was already New Year's Eve.
It's almost been a year since she came into this world. Time flies.
She lay there and sighed for a while, then got up and slowly went downstairs. Zhou Beiqing was the only one in the living room, reading a book. When he saw her coming downstairs, he just looked up at her, then lowered his head and continued reading.
Sheng An Ning naturally wouldn't pay any attention to her. She supported her waist and came down. When she heard some noise in the kitchen, she walked over.
Only the aunt was busy cleaning up the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen. Seeing Sheng Anning, she smiled and said, "You're up. The pot is still heating up the rice for you."
Sheng Anning was curious: "Where did my parents go?"
"Your grandfather and the other three men went to visit the graves. Your mother went to deliver some things to her sister's house and will be back soon." As the aunt spoke, she took out a bowl of egg custard and two buns from the pot and called Sheng An Ning to eat.
Sheng Anning was sitting at the dining table, holding a spoon and just about to eat the egg custard when she saw a little bit of white powder on the edge of the bowl, as if the flour in her aunt's hand had accidentally fallen on it.
I bent down and smelled it. Besides the fishy smell of eggs, there was also some other smell that was hard to describe.
Out of vigilance, Sheng Anning called out to her auntie: "Auntie, did you start kneading the dough this morning?"
Auntie leaned half of her body out of the kitchen and shook her head: "I didn't knead the dough, I just cooked the paste to paste the couplets this morning. What's wrong, do you want to eat noodles?"
Sheng An Ning shook her head: "No, I was just thinking about whether to eat dumplings for lunch. If I eat dumplings, I won't eat buns."
Auntie said happily: "If you don't eat dumplings at noon, you should eat dumplings at night."
Sheng Anning nodded: "Okay, I understand."
After her aunt returned to the kitchen, Sheng An Ning stared at the egg custard and buns in a daze. She definitely couldn't eat this breakfast. No one was at home, and if something happened, she and the babies would be dead.
But there is no one else at home except my aunt and Zhou Beiqing.
My aunt was able to work here after going through a lot of investigations. It is impossible for her to be so bold. So the only one left is Zhou Beiqing.
Sheng An Ning thought about it, she had no grudge against Zhou Beiqing, why would she want to harm herself?
But for someone as brainless as Zhou Beiqing, it is not impossible that he will be taken advantage of again. He turned around and looked at Zhou Beiqing who was sitting on the sofa with a smile: "Beiqing, do you want to eat some egg custard?"
